What a great group met to discuss this book! A few of us did not get to attend the session, so we hope that we can add to the discussion by having people post their reactions either on this page or using the discussion link at the top of this page.
Notes from the group:
Goal Setting
District-wide
Should it be mandatory in the curriculum
Encourage self-recognition rather than external recognition
Student-Specific / Self-Attainable
Long-term Effects
Community Service Involvement
Again helping to encourage internal skills
Reality-based lessons
Regular Positive Encouragement
Teaching Social Skills
Specific social skills teaher?
Parent involvement (especially in middle and high school)
Offer food
Have students perform
